New Music / Freshly Written and Recently Released (Feb 19)
GOOD KARMA
"Finding Closure" is the title of Delran band All Systems Go's new album, issued recently, on February 19. I went to see their show on Friday night at Bonk's Bar in Port Richmond.
The work that the band has posted on Bandcamp goes back to 2019, with the first album "Garden State Skies". The album is largely upbeat with a travel-related motif in many of the songs. The songs are also about a relationship, and maybe the traveling along the highway is a metaphor for traveling through life in that relationship.
But as time moves on in later albums we seem to start having more questions about life and maybe even having doubts about our relationships. The instrumental stylings are also becoming a little less crisp.
Fast forward to 2025 and the album "Finding Closure" where we've done some deep introspection about the past and wonder how it might impact the future. We've come to the observation that Feeling lost is my one true constant.
Here is the first song from the "Finding Closure" album. The title is "Hey, Crabman!" In this song we see where we've made some mistakes in the past and vow to learn from them. We have confidence that the good karma we've built up in life will help us in the future. (maybe good advice for all of us!)
On Friday night when I saw All Systems Go they were five instead of four; one of the musicians was doing vocals after an injury and they had a substitute doing his regular guitar work. That was my first time seeing them. I enjoyed their show and I think five works. Maybe the number five should be in their future!
All Systems Go doesn't have any other show in Philly coming up soon, but here's a click to their Facebook page where you an see shows coming up in the wider area ::: All Systems Go on Facebook (CLICK HERE).
